Chapter 69: Potential Crisis
Back in the city with a full harvest today, the manager of the forging shop saw that the city lord had given him another batch of materials, all of which were of good grade, and looked at him with admiration.
As for Shen Jufeng, the deputy city lord, this city-state is not his personal after all, so the store manager always buys his supplies, including customized weapons, and the money is directly deducted from the purchase money.
"I want to make a part of the two mutated scorpion pincers into a weapon, and the shell. I want to make the tail into a whip, and sell the rest."
After listening to Shen Jufeng's request, the store manager nodded, "No problem, It's still the same as before, I will contact you when it is finished, and the money will be deducted directly."
After speaking, he looked at Lu Jiu, "Does the city lord have any weapons you want to customize?"
Lu Jiu recalled today's battle situation, "Yes, give it to me Get a light and close-fitting armour, which can protect the chest and back."
Today, the mutated black scorpion's tail hit her and she felt her internal organs vibrate. If there is armour to protect the important parts, the situation may be better.
Shen Jufeng thought it made sense, "Then the shell I reserved will be made into armour."
The store manager seemed to be inspired, "Well... the armour is good, and the next product will be made in cooperation with the tailor shop."
Now for fighters and shield guards, shields can indeed withstand a lot of damage, but they also limit the real combat power.
If you can free that hand from holding the shield, two hands are better than one hand.
After Lu Jiu left the shop, there were no green plants in the city-state, and the bleak autumn wind blew the banners hanging on the street stalls, all of which were written with items for sale.
At this moment, she felt calm. Among the people coming and going in front of her, she saw a couple holding the child's hand.
The child raised his head and said something. The mother looked at the child with a gentle smile, and the father looked at the road ahead also smiling.
Seeing her staring at the crowd, Shen Jufeng walked up to her, "What do you want to eat, I invite you."
He thought that Lu Jiu might be missing his family.
"I want to eat a lot, spicy rabbit legs, fried rice cakes, and milk tea." That's right, Xuantian City has such talents and made milk tea.
In the slightly cold autumn, a cup of warm milk tea can warm you up immediately.
"Okay." He was not short of money, but he was willing to see Lu Jiu happy.
He and she are alone in this game world.
Lu Jiu wanted to eat rice cakes and stir-fried squid, but unfortunately, there is no seafood now, and no one has the skills of a fisherman.
She is looking forward to having such talents come to Xuantian City.
But the fried rice cakes with vegetables were still delicious, Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng came to line up in front of the milk tea stall after eating a few mouthfuls.
This milk tea has just been released a few days ago, and the business is so hot that the boss even rented out the stall next to it, and they waited for more than ten minutes to buy it.
Shen Jufeng was not very interested in milk tea, so he only ordered the original flavour.
"Boss, I want chocolate milk tea."
She loves chocolate-flavoured tea, and she feels very happy drinking sweetness.
The boss acted quickly, and a large cup of chocolate milk tea was quickly finished, "Thank you for your patronage."
Lu Jiu gave 10 copper coins. Now people buy things at the stalls not seeking to replenish their physical strength, but purely for appetite, as if holding milk tea They went back to the old days.
Lu Jiu looked at the milk tea he was holding. The packaged cups were sold in the system mall, 1 copper coin for 1,000.
After drinking, throw it into the trash can and it will disappear by itself.
Now people still produce garbage, but they don't need to worry about how to solve it.
Shen Jufeng took a sip of the milk tea, frowning slightly.
This milk tea is not particularly sweet, but he still doesn't like this kind of drink.
Lu Jiu saw his disgust, "Next time you can try the green tea flavour, I bought it before, and it tastes good."
"En." Shen Jufeng replied and then tried to take a sip of the cup he bought wasted.
The dialogue channel is as lively as ever, and there are very few loudspeakers.
People often watch their city dialogue channels. Now the same city channels in every city are very lively.
Because of the opening of the city-state canteen, people have no shortage of small speakers. Most of the chats on the channel are trivial, and some direct bicker in the channel.
Now it looks like when playing games in the past, people from all over the world would chat on the channel.
"How did I find that few people seem to be trading items in the dialogue channel?"
She used to see people shouting to sell her specialities in the channel, for example, she also bought seafood from coastal cities in the channel.
The situation there seems to be different from that in the inland area.
There is very little food such as rice and wheat, but the seafood that comes ashore will become wild monsters.
Shen Jufeng was not surprised by this, "The price of each city-state is different. Maybe you think the price is fair here, but not over there, so few people trade across regions."
Now there are too many city-states, The price of a city-state mainly depends on the will of the city owner.
If the basic price is high, the prices of other items will naturally rise.
Lu Jiu felt that he had learned a lot, "So it's like this, it's a pity."
She didn't care too much about the price of the seafood that she traded on the channel before, she just wanted to eat shrimp.
Who knew that the wild monsters on the coast were so strange, they could go ashore to attack people, and they dropped a lot of seafood, so they exchanged them with the inland city-states for food?
"Don't look at the temporary stability. It is still in chaos. It is far from reaching the stage of social stability. Next, the beast siege will eliminate some weak city-states. Only a small number of city-states can survive to achieve a certain degree of unity Prices."
Shen Jufeng thought the same as Li Aoting, there are too many city-states in the whole country, which is unreasonable.
The whole society has been disrupted and rearranged, and there are still many things and contradictions that need to be experienced.
"Anyway, Xuantian City will survive in Yangshan City."
Lu Jiu loves this city-state and hopes that the residents living here can live and work in peace and contentment.
It may be that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
The identity of the city owner drove her out of thinking only for herself.
Shen Jufeng looked into the distance, and said lightly, "I will help you."
Li Aoting felt that the past two days had been a headache.
Since the game was updated, some residents went out to collect food in panic, for fear that they would be hungry the next winter.
And such life-type players have a lot of time to collect food, but they don't sell it, which makes the professional players very unhappy.
They went out and worked hard to kill wild monsters and delay the attack time of the beast horde.
As a result, it was difficult to buy staple food. When they returned, the food near the city-state had been collected.
Although killing wild monsters dropped a lot of meat, and the drop started at dozens of kilograms, the staple food that Hua people were used to was rice, and vegetables were also collected cleanly, so changing the taste was not enough.
There are only a few small stalls in the commercial street that are still open, and the rest are not prepared to take out food.
Although living in the city-state requires money, many residents have accumulated some wealth during this period and bought several at a time.
Monthly rental fee, or even a year.
Li Aoting couldn't figure it out, the shelf life of food was so long, and those people collected so much, why bother to hide it?
